The Excitement in New York.

NEW York, Now s.-The interest shown
by the public in the election is only
equaled in presidential years. At the
respective headquarters, in front of the
newspaper offices, around the tickers and
wherever any information as TO the result
could be cleaned, great crowds
gathered and cheered US the news
that pleased them came in.
Madison square was literally packed with
people, who gazed for hours at the public
stereopticon that published the figures and
newspaper row was next TO impossible
from the Herald office TO that Of the Sun
till midnight. Notwithstanding the excite
ment and high feeling attendant upon the
contest, it was on, OF the quietest election
days ever known in the city.

Republican FAILING on.

WIScnEsTER Va, Nov. S.-The weather
is fair. All is quiet, and there is a falling
off on the Republican side owing to dissat-
isiaction among both whites and negroes.
The Democrats appear TO be polling their
full strength. The indications are that this
city will be close, with the chances in favor
OF the Democrats. The Republicans have
won by good majorities for several years.

What True Meri, VIII Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee' s
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safes tand best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and e1fectual cure of
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell Of serious Illness. A
trial will convince you of these facts. 1t

general dealers in the land Price, rs

esis and the Darwinian theory, and pre-
scented the historical features of the lesson
in a manner highly interesting and in

The Ground Hog a Failure.

The ground hog is failure-his pat
ent" as a weather prognosticator ought
to be cancelled-it is not worth any more
as an original invention than that of the
Bell telephone. When the ground hog
remained out of his burrow six weeks ago
it prognosticated, because he did not see
his shadow, fair, moderate weather 1t
was piece of false pretence, equal to that
which Virgins has been practicing, for
ON the contrary of fair weather, it has
been six weeks of alternate snow, rain,
hail and gales, all of which was anything
but fair. The ground hog deserves to be
entombed in burrow, out of which he
can never come, at least as weather prog
nosticator.

Findings ofth Naval Academy Court
Martial

The findings of the naval couft. martial
which investigated charges Of hazing
against Naval Cadet Charles w. Potter,
OF the third class. mention of which was
first made In the CAPITAL, have been for
warded through Superintendent Sampson,
of the Naval Academy, TO the Secretary
Of the Navy for his approval The charge
against Potter was the hazing Of Naval
Cadet John X. Edie, a member of the
fourth class, whom President Cleveland
appointed last May, and the evidence be-
fore the court was said TO have satisfied
its members Of the participation of the
accused in the affair, even TO the extent
Of requiring the lower classman TO swal-
low something that very much resembled
ink. Another cadet was thought to have
been mixed up in the scrape, but the evil
dence was not believed TO be sufficiently
strong to make case against him. The
penalty for hazing is dismissal from the
Academy. The summary punishment,
however, does not appear to deter students
from engaging in the forbidden sport.
The "hazing" court adjourned with the
finding OF verdict, which is thought to
have recommended dismissal in Potter s
case.

The ArtSe;an Well.

At the special meeting of the city Coun
ell last night, Alderman Flood, from the
Committee on streets reported verbally
that the artesian well, for which the Coun-
cal had contracted with Mr. John w.
Craig, had reached depth of POI feet,
and had struck natural flow of two gal
Ions and half in thirteen seconds. A
sample of the water had been taken from
the well. and will be analysed, and he
moved that the sum of five dollars be APP
propriated for that purpose
Mr. Craig, the contractor, being present,
by permission addressed the Board. He
suggested that sample of the water be
sent to the State Board of Health, and
that the Corporation send another sample
to be analysed elsewhere. He said he had
proposed ~ give a drinking water, but
not entirely free from iron or alum, which
proved from tests that had been applied
but there may be little sulphur in it.
He was anxious to have the matter settled
at once, but the Board adjourned without
taking any action until there had been a
thorough analysis of the water.
